First off: Matrix guys, you've made a product I couldn't dream of writing a "design intention" document for, let alone make a reality. Kudos. Second: There are a few niggling issues with the interface and execution I'd like to hit on. Why doesn't the darn game recognize that it is already installed? I shouldn't have to turn off auto-run to accomodate this particular program. Why does the credits screen hijack my display for 10 seconds every time I exit the game? You guys did a great job, no need to rub it in. Why do I have to watch the intro movies EVERY time I go into the game? Once is enough, or let me check a preference to turn them off. Why doesn't the email option automatically package the darn playback .dat file with the correct save file? And finally, why doesn't "head-to-head" mean over an internet/network connection? And why don't we have the "continous" play style available for that sort of game connection? I don't want to sound like I'm 16 or something, believe me I've hotseated enuf games in my time, but it's not even remotely the ideal choice for multi-play, and neither is the current email process. And I won't even go into the "seeing the other guys stuff during replay" bug, I know you've got that one already. I'm getting around these issues to play the game anyway because of the deep gameplay and attention to detail. (I'm not grognard enuf to know if all that detail is correct, however) I just needed to vent on some things that don't so much effect actual gameplay, but do effect my enjoyment of that gameplay, making it harder to get to where I want to be, PLAYING. Thanks for listening, Mike
